Pikiran yang goyah dan tidak tetap, yang sulit dijaga dan sulit dikuasai, maka orang bijaksana meluruskannya, bagaikan seorang pembuat panah meluruskan anak panah.

Pikiran goreh kang ora jenjem, kang angel rineksa sarta angel dikuwasani, ing kono wong wicaksana bakal nglempengake, kayadane tukang gawe panah nglempengake paser (anak panah —Ind.)

As a fletcher makes straight his arrow, a wise man makes straight his trembling and unsteady thought, witch is difficult to guard, difficult to hold back.
